Hello! Where is a good place to get starter coral at online? I've seen a few but would like to know what are good places yall recommend preferably LPS or any nems or soft coral? Still new to all of this and also whats a good price for all of this stuff?
 
If your local fish stores don't have what you are looking for my go to place is Corals.com.
Pretty decent prices.
One tip to add, be aware that weather plays a big part in buying coral or fish online. You are responsible just as much as the vendor IMO.
 
I have always had a good experience with TSA (Top Shelf Aquatics). There are many other good coral places!
 
I’ve been really happy with the prices, quality and care from Queen City Corals. I live on the east coast but a few states away from them so that might influence my success. But they have always been the most impressively packed (even if by a small margin). And they always have 15$ coral and decent prices on other things. I think a new customer code too. I will say the pictures are all of “equal” scale. They all take up the same amount of the picture but can vary in size. I think that’s everywhere. I’ve mostly been surprised on a occasion expecting small pieces; but have got some small ones as well. Largely, they’re a nice size and all are WYSIWYG

I did like TSA as well but just haven’t gone back as much.
 
Buying online cherrycorals.com usually has some good stuff. Have seen his set up in person. He’s not messing around. Like what was stated before I would look for a local store first
